What is a Specialty Certificate?

Specialty Certificate's are designed for experienced students who wish to gain an in-depth expertise in a specific field by pursuing an individually designed intense course of study of at least 18 credits.

To qualify for this program, you must have completed at least 30 credits of approved
collegiate study in a discipline other than the one for which the Specialty Certificate is
sought.  In consultation with the appropriate Discipline Coordinator, a minimum 18 credit
sequence of courses to be taken at Montgomery County Community College will be designed.  Final approval of your Specialty Certificate program and review of qualifying collegiate transcripts will be made by the appropriate Division Chair.
